My life and times in sports and baseball cards
I was digging through a box looking for some cards to complete a trade and I came across this Hank Aaron promotional card. The card is from the San Diego Sports Collectors Association in 1981. The card offers fifty cents off on admission to the San Diego Show at the Town & Country Hotel. I [...]
